Thank you, sir! All started because of you and Utata way back when.

Not exactly in a row. There were about 10 books, ones that took me from the 1800s West (Whiskey When We're Dry), the 1950s Midwest (Buckeye) and others in between. 🙂

It’s Noirvember It’s Noirvember. Desperate people (usually men) making catastrophic choices with dire consequences, often aided and abetted by a femme fatale. After the colors of summer and the jack o’ lant…

Happy #Noirvember to all who celebrate. You're my kinda people.

Over on his LinkedIn page, he (well, his exec comms team) posted a video of a new data center. The opening lines "About a year ago, this site near South Bend, Indiana was just cornfields. Today, it’s 1 of our U.S. data centers powering Project Rainier." So I asked: What happened to the farmers?

Good point!

I prefer this story than most of what's in the news now.

RIP to Philly DJ Pierre Robert. I started listening to WMMR in the mid-80s while in high school in Northeast PA. Then went to Philly in college and lived there for 10 years. Pierre's soothing timbre and Rock Blocks were a part of my living there. Legend.

After WWII, where he was awarded a Purple Heart that he gave away to "some blonde," he vowed to only photograph "attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places."

I can't blame him.
